The only reason we ventured out this morning was because we had made an appointment to have the truck serviced. We’d made a promise, we’ll keep our promise, but it’s cold out there. Benefit to getting out there though, besides the opportunity to do some grocery shopping, was the chance to check out the ice in the local creek as well as in our front yard! Lovely as it is we are not tempted to linger out of doors. There are projects inside the house calling our names.
Queen Mary 2’s arrival in the Port of Dakar, Senegal was heralded in the local press and greeted with ceremony. Our own excursion took us on a coach journey through the streets of the capital city to visit a Wolof village and the shore of Lake Retba, the salty lake famed for an intense pink color.
Today’s safari adventure transported us out into the Dorob National Park to have up close encounters with little creatures that are well adapted to the extreme heat and lack of water in the Namib Desert.
With a UNESCO World Heritage Site, two national parks, dozens of museums, and hundreds of tours offered in the Cape Town area there is more than plenty to do. For our two day visit we opted to concentrate on African wildlife visiting the Aquila Private Game Reserve and the Boulders Beach Penguin Colony for a wonderful chance to these fabulous animals in their own habitat.
